Madam Speaker, my colleague is a student of history. He knows that during the Second World War, the last big crisis this country lived through, we put in place an excess profits tax, which led to the unparalleled growth that came after we had vanquished Nazism and fascism.
Today, we see a government that is absolutely refusing to put in place a pandemic profits tax or wealth tax, despite the fact that Canada's billionaires have increased their wealth by over $78 billion during this pandemic. These measures were supported by over 80% of Canadians, including two-thirds of Conservative voters.
Do the Conservatives believe that the Liberals have acted inappropriately by giving a free ride to the ultra-rich?
